  1. well for macungie, I still rate it a C- even with the nice snowfall event on Saturday and the previous week. The temps have been cold this week and for one week in January but what strikes me about this winter was the amount of warm temps and rainfall from late November into January of nearly 15 inches. Furthermore the excessive cloudy days throughout the entire winter season did a number on my utility bill trying to keep the house warm. This winter sucked except for the last week. A couple of weeks of winter simply does make up for the flooding rains and cloudy days, especially at Christmas time.
  2. nice report card synopsis I would change the grade for No 6 however from F- to withdrawn or incomplete. We must grade properly now. By the way, maybe some of the courses were audited so a satisfactory or unsatisfactory maybe more appropriate. I would say no. 6 falls in the category too. LMAO
  3. thanks for your confidence in me. Last night single digits back up the snow pack too. I just wish everyone would have received the same amount. Its not fair as I feel as I am the one that got served surf and turf while everyone else got mac and cheese. I warning many of those who think winter is dead based on the upcoming weather patterns. A dying el nino pattern usually brings a significant snowfall by mid to late March for our area. My 30+ years, I have observed this phenomenon. The problem is that it will all melt right way because of the sun angle but I still think about it. The 60+ degrees in early March will be replaced by cold rainy April too.
  4. down to 9 degrees in the LV this morning. Snow pack has helped. Yesterday, I got down to 8 degrees
  5. I see the single digits are shown over the snowpack areas of the LV. Pretty accurate. Already 20 degrees Got down to 9 degrees this morning under the snow pack. 14 degrees right now.
  6. I am an official spotter for the NWS for the last 25 years or so. I reported that measurement. I do not hype measurements. I was not kidding with all of observations about the snowfall and snowflakes. I live about two miles from the resort. The total after the snow squalls was over 14 inches. I still have 10+ inches on the northern side of the house. The southern facing sides lost all but about 6 inches.
  7. I am being very conservative. It would not surprise me though to be near zero if the winds decouple at sunset
  8. I expect to be in the single digits tonight again. Saturday night was 8. Last night was 18 with some cloudy skies. A foot of snow pack has greatly helped with raditional cooling and I am in a deep valley. My predicted low tonight will near 5-10 degrees
  9. I have had 35.5 in of snow thus far. The 14 inches I had on Saturday helped. This would rank near the top 5
  10. reached 35.5 in of snow thus far with Saturdays snow event in Macungie. That is our average snowfall for the year here with another month to go
  11. wow, if threw in Macungie in this list , we would be 7th highest on the list Just the fact that allentown has had the most snow in PA on the list is so rare
  12. sure. You can help remove the snow from my deck LOL
  13. got down to 8 degrees at the house last night- coldest of the year with a nice 20+ inch snowpack in the area to aid in the raditional cooling
  14. I knew Sat mornings storm would overperform in our area but to the extent of the meso banding setting up right over my backyard for 4+ hours at 4-5 inches per hour, now that was unexpected 14-15 inches of the fluffiest snow I have seen in many years was a nice surprise- just like getting nearly 15+ inches of rain in December. I guess what to expect in the upcoming months- a severe ice storm,or a severe t- storm with hail/ tornadoes in March is not out of the question at this point. LOL
  15. 3-4 more inches for Macungie- any takers? 2 feet of snow in 5 days is enough for me this winter How about you Ralph? LOL
  16. 3-4 more inches for Macungie- any takers? 2 feet of snow in 5 days is enough for me this winter LOL
  17. well I was the jackpot this time. Its been since 2016 since I was jackpotted. Just finished up. Just over 14 in of fluffy white on the picnic table on my deck and near the yard stick on the deck. The snow flakes were extremely fluffy pancake size . It was much easier to clean up as even my snow thrower ate through all of the snow . Definitely did not like that ball busting 11 in of snow on Tuesday. I think you guys need to drive up to Macungie just to see what severe snow banding does. A drive up RT 100 or Rt 29 and you will see the difference within a few miles. At 4-5 inch rates this morning, as fast as I was typing my measurements to MT Holly, they were changing. I was hoping for thundersnow but again did not observe lightning. I have had my fair share of snow now, time for you guys to the south to get some more.
  18. well this drought guy has had his ass handed to him this week on a silver shovel in the Macungie area . On Tuesday, I had nearly 11 inches of snow. Well this morning, add and other 15 inches and I have had over two feet in 5 days. No model in the world saw this coming. That deathband gave me 4 in+ hour rates for 1.5 hours. We now have had more snow this year than any area in PA right now- Alburtis Macungie area is now the snow king of PA this year.- just unbelievable I shall declare the drought dead and for some people who hate snow, they would say the groundhog was dead to. LOL
  19. Over a foot with the deathband now in Macungie
  20. this is my backyard. Add another foot to Tuesdays amount - nearly two feet of snow in 5 days plus we went under a winter storm warning at 1:30 . Still snowing under the death band too
